DISCOVER: Jack Shields Releases Music Video for “Leaving California”

Jack Shields is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer from the forested corner of Connecticut who describes his music as “blending and bending the genres of rock, hip hop, and folk.” While watching and listening to his newest music video for “Leaving California”, you get the chance to experience the artist that Jack truly is.

Over the past two years, Jack spent his time uploading new music to his SoundCloud, and it’s nonstop hard work like that that’ll get you somewhere. With tons experience making, recording, and releasing music, it’s no wonder Jack’s Leaving California EP presents itself as such a well thought-out, mature release.

The music video for Jack’s latest single, also titled “Leaving California”, tells the story of an artist who’s left the woodland of Connecticut in search of a better life on the West Coast. If you’re a fan of beautiful landscapes and nostalgic visuals with a calming tune behind it, you’re going to love this video. In the video Jack leaves realities of the East Coast to go to California, but once he did that, he came to realize that there was something that he needed to return home for.

My name is Melanie Gomez (25) and I graduated with a BA in print journalism with music management as my minor. I loved music since I was a kid because it was always a way my family and I bonded, as well as a way to express myself on my own time as I got older. I’m not a singer and I don’t play an instrument, so my way of being part of the music industry is by getting to write about the music I love in various reviews and through my concert photography. Another goal? To make people smile.
